4.5Variant: Please Please PinkTruBlend Skin Enhancer Baked Luminous Blush
  • “One thing I really like about this blush, too, is that the reflect is pink. It kind of gives your skin like a glow from within flushed look”18:21–18:25
  • “On my skin tone with the bronzer and everything, it does pull a little warm. But, that's okay. I feel like that's a nice color for the summertime”18:38–18:44
  • “These are incredible. These are just as good as the Hourglass formulation, in my opinion”30:52–30:56
  • “They're very buildable and you can sheer them out easily”

4.9Variant: ImpassionedPowder Blush
4.5Variant: Honey BunTruBlend Skin Enhancer Baked Luminous Bronzer
  • “I like how diffused this looks upon application. You can slowly build this up. And it has enough sheen so that it brings life back into the skin”16:21–16:26
  • “I kind of wish that there was one more shade just a hair lighter”16:42–16:48
  • “These are incredible. These are just as good as the Hourglass formulation, in my opinion”
  • “The only thing is that they've only come out with four shades each and I would love to see a bigger shade range”16:48–16:51

4.2Variant: FairCamo Liquid Bronzer & Contour
  • “I haven't used this in a while, but I remember liking it a lot”5:04–5:12
  • “I have used this liquid bronzer before, so I know that it's going to work exceptionally well, and it's like the perfect color as a bronzer for any fair olive skin toned girly”5:32–5:41
  • “The shade fair in particular is not too orangey, not too red, and it's perfectly muted to compliment my skin tone”27:03–27:11
  • “The shade fair light gives your complexion the perfect amount of warmth without going too orangey”27:13–27:16
  • “I wouldn't recommend these for oily skin. I think the Rare Beauty Liquid Bronzer and Contours are better suited for an oilier skin type, but if you're on the drier side, these are amazing to add to your collection”27:19–27:23
  • “They're not overly pigmented, making them super easy to use”27:29–27:35

4.9Variant: #02 Cool BlendingV Cut Blending Shading
  • “I find that the Dasique palette is a little bit more forgiving, whereas this is quite pigmented, so I recommend a light hand”9:33–9:41
  • “One thing I really like about this product is that it's really hard to over apply”9:57–10:02
  • “If you're extra tired in the morning, or you just have a lot on your mind, or you just want to get your makeup over and done with, it's just such an easy product to apply, and you don't really have to think about it”10:07–10:12

2.8Variant: 12 Fair WarmSoft Glam Satin Concealer
  • “I haven't used this concealer in a long while and I think it's because it's probably not the best”3:57–4:03
  • “This concealer definitely feels a lot more stiffer to blend out compared to something like my Tower 28 concealer or my Natasha Denona concealer”4:19–4:24
  • “It is blendable. I just feel like I have to work a little bit harder to get it blended out”4:30–4:34
  • “The soft glam satin concealer is decent, but it's not my favorite drugstore concealer”
  • “I much prefer the NYX Bare With Me serum concealer instead. I just find that the NYX formula is a lot creamier and more pigmented, whereas this can get a little dry and it's a bit difficult to blend out”26:31–26:42
  • “While it's not great, it's not terrible either”26:46–26:53
  • “I do like the squishy packaging and how it has a doe foot and so it's really easy to use up the product, which I always appreciate as well”26:55–27:00
  • Source: Almost full face of e.l.f. makeup with 8-hour wear test on combo/oily skin - Jun 16, 2026
4.5Variant: BWSwipe Serum Concealer
  • “BW is a new shade that Tower 28 Beauty has released and it is a fair olive shade, which is fantastic because again, it's really hard to find fair olive shades in any makeup range”3:59–4:06
  • “I like to use the Tower 28 Beauty concealer instead because it's just a little bit more lightweight, whereas the Natasha Denona concealer is a little bit more on the hydrating side and I prefer to use that during the colder seasons”4:16–4:25

4.8Variant: DefinedTruBlend Skin Enhancer Contour Balm
  • “The texture of this is really smooth”7:58–8:01
  • “The blend on this is super easy”
  • “I think it's the perfect shade for a fair-skinned girly”11:33–11:38
  • “I'm just so impressed by how blendable this is”
  • “The stick is playing nicely with the foundation”
  • “Finding something like this is like a diamond in the rough”11:03–11:08
  • “This works almost just as well as the House Labs”11:18–11:24
  • “I love it. I would highly recommend it to any fair-skinned girly who is struggling with finding a contour stick appropriate for their color”11:28–11:35
  • “This color is amazing, especially for fair-skinned folks. It's not too pigmented. It has the perfect gray-brown ashy tones to mimic the color of shadow on your face”30:15–30:20
  • “I'm going to use this a lot, to be honest”

4.8Variant: Y1HY-GLAM Foundation
  • “The texture of the foundation is a lot thicker than I anticipated, because they describe this foundation as a serum, but I would say that it's a little bit thicker than the House Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation”4:17–4:23
  • “Even with the first layer, it looks like it evened out my skin tone quite a bit”4:55–5:01
  • “It is matching my neck pretty well. The tone is nice”5:29–5:34
  • “I'm actually really loving it so far. I'm not running into any issues of peeling with any of my skin care products or primer. It's sitting really well. It looks really even and dewy”6:30–6:34
  • “The formula is so lightweight. The coverage is really nice. I didn't have to use any concealer”
  • “I think it might be better than my other foundations, which is the Haus Labs foundation and the It Cosmetics foundation, but again, more testing is needed”29:58–30:01

4.2Variant: 12 Fair Warm, 22 Light Warm (mixed)Soft Glam Satin Foundation
  • “Coverage for the first layer is I would say somewhere between light to medium”2:49–2:55
  • “Every time I put this on, I'm so impressed by how well the foundation is laying on top of the skin, especially over that primer. They just work really well together”3:17–3:21
  • “These actually gave me decent coverage”25:47–25:51
  • “I usually use the Danessa Myricks Blurring Balm Powder in universal because I do have oilier skin and it definitely helps to extend the wear time of the foundation”25:57–26:04
  • “For dry leaning skin, so dry leaning skin and combo dry skin, this is a decent drugstore foundation”26:07–26:12
  • “I love the packaging of this product because it's lightweight and travel friendly and I always prefer a squeeze tube over a pump foundation”26:15–26:18
  • Source: Almost full face of e.l.f. makeup with 8-hour wear test on combo/oily skin - Jun 16, 2026
3.5Variant: Soft Pearl EraHalo Glow Silky Powder Highlighter
  • “I believe this is supposed to be a dupe for the Rare Beauty highlighter”18:28–18:33
  • “The Rare Beauty highlighter is a lot more smoother in texture and also in shine. I find that the particle size for this E.L.F. highlighter is just a teensy bit larger than the Rare Beauty one, but they are pretty close”18:29–18:40
  • “This is a decent highlighter, but if I'm comparing it to the Rare Beauty highlighter, the Rare Beauty highlighter is better in my opinion”18:29–18:36
  • “This powder is not as finely milled. And so when you apply the product onto your skin, it just kind of sits on top rather than melting into the skin”30:02–30:06
  • “It's not bad, but it's not amazing either”30:08–30:15
  • “This is probably best suited for younger skin. So, someone who's in college or up to their late 20s”30:11–30:18

2Liquid Poreless Putty Primer
  • “I've used the liquid poreless putty primer before and I really did like it”0:40–0:50
  • “Upon application, I can't really tell if it's neutralizing any redness in my skin just because when I'm rubbing my skin, it's also making it more red”1:03–1:08
  • “This did help my makeup look smoother upon application, but it didn't do a whole lot to control the oil”
  • “I couldn't notice any difference in my redness when I was applying it onto my face”25:23–25:26
  • “This product is probably best suited for someone who is on the drier side, who has mild redness, but for someone like myself who's a little bit oily and has a lot of redness on her skin, this is definitely not for me”25:29–25:35
  • “I will not be reaching for this, unfortunately”25:43–25:47
  • Source: Almost full face of e.l.f. makeup with 8-hour wear test on combo/oily skin - Jun 16, 2026
4.2Variant: Pound CakeEasy Bake and Snatch Pressed Brightening and Setting Powder
  • “It's just not as blurring as the loose powder, which is pretty much consistent with what I've been hearing online”34:30–34:35
  • “As a travel-friendly option, the pressed powder would be a lot easier and faster to apply and a lot less messier”
  • “If I just kind of want to do my makeup like whatever really quickly and I just want to head out the door, then this is kind of like the perfect solution”
  • “Funnily enough, I've hit pan. So, I guess I like it”
  • “This is not as blurring as the loose powder, obviously, but when I want to set my under eyes quickly or just do my face quickly and I don't want to have the added stuff of working the powder into my brush or my powder puff, I really like this and I've used it quite a bit”34:32–34:37
  • “For everyday use, I think the pressed powder is almost as good as the loose powder. So, I do definitely recommend this. Just don't expect it to be as blurring as the loose powder”35:02–35:10

  • “It's nothing more than a clear base with champagne gold shimmer, but the packaging and the overspray and the formula was enough for me to get it”8:50–8:54
  • “The bomb itself is a bit stiff and leaves just enough moisture to hydrate the lips, but I wouldn't use this as a solution to chapped lips”8:58–9:02
  • “I like to use this on days where I'm wearing a light amount of makeup and I want to keep the lips simple, but with a tiny bit of pizzazz”9:08–9:11

  • “Surprisingly, it's really plumping”28:41–28:45
  • “I do love how pepperminty the plumping is. It's quite aggressive, which is surprising for a drugstore lip balm, but I'm really happy that they weren't shy about the plumping formula in this”28:44–28:48
  • “It has both the menthol sensation and then the spicy capsaicin sensation, so you're getting like a double whammy. It's quite strong”36:26–36:33
  • “This particular shade, the gold sparkle, is just a very nice topper for any lip color that you want to apply underneath. This topper shade is fantastic and it doesn't come out orangey at all. It just gives you a wash of gold sparkle and it's so cute”36:43–36:51

  • “These lipsticks are very comfortable to wear, not drying, and super pigmented”19:38–19:44
  • “The packaging is also cute and easy to distinguish which color is which”19:44–19:48
  • “Since blossom stains the lips, it can double as a hot pink lip stain. So, in a way, you're getting two products in one”19:48–19:53

  • “Everything about these lipsticks felt like a high-end lipstick that you might find at a Sephora, minus the Elf branding on the side”8:04–8:07
  • “The formula is pigmented, smooth, and very comfortable on the lips, and the magnetic packaging elevates the experience of using them”8:11–8:16
  • “The only con that I can think of is that finding a shade that works for you might be a bit tricky, since testers aren't really a thing anymore at the drugstore”8:20–8:24

  • “I've also been using this for years and years and years and years”22:02–22:10
  • “I prefer using this, but I'll still use this cuz I bought it and I have it in my collection, but I think I'm always going to repurchase the NYX Micro Brow Pencil just because it's what I've been using and it's the easiest product that I've used for my brows”

  • “I don't like to use this in the front of my brows just because I have hairs that grow sideways”
  • “The brush on the other end is quite soft, so blending out the product is super easy”21:36–21:44
  • “I don't know if this is a necessary purchase. I like it, but I think it's quite pricey”21:45–21:51
  • “While this is a good product, I don't think it's super necessary”31:37–31:45

  • “I really do like how buildable this formula is”23:11–23:17
  • “There is a bit of fallout, but that delicate powderiness really lent itself to being blendable”23:14–23:22
  • “Really loving how blendable and buildable the eyeshadows are and I'm not experiencing a lot of fallout either”24:14–24:18
  • “I'm surprised by how little fallout there is when I was applying the eyeshadows”32:50–32:57
  • “I feel like I can just take this palette and my Master Mattes Neutral Palette traveling and that would be good enough to do a wide range of really pretty neutral eyeshadow looks”

4.9Variant: In Her DreamsMajor Dimension Eye Illusion Eyeshadow Duo
  • “I love how sparkly that is”25:24–25:26
  • “I know that this was a little bit controversial when it first came out cuz it was quite expensive, but I think it's worth it. You get two shadows and you get a mirror in the packaging itself”25:26–25:28
  • “I think it's worth it and it's beautiful”25:28–25:33
  • “I really love this product. It's super sparkly. I'm not getting any fallout. So, once you apply it onto your eyelid, it just stays there and I love a glittery eyeshadow whether it's daytime or nighttime”33:34–33:43

4.2Variant: Keep It EtherealPerfect 10 Eyeshadow Palette
  • “The only negative thing I'm noticing about the eyeshadow palette is there is a bit of kickback when I'm picking up the eyeshadows. But that's just me being really nitpicky”
  • “It sticks really well to the skin as soon as it's applied. I have zero fallout, which is incredible”15:56–16:00
  • “This is great if you don't want to spend an arm and a leg on the Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes palette. This is a fantastic alternative”29:02–29:07
  • “The shades are not exact, but they are pretty close. I would say that this is just a hair warmer and you get a lot of kickback and fallout, but at least the fallout is easy to swipe away from your face as long as it's powdered well”29:14–29:18
  • “I definitely recommend this. This is a great budget eyeshadow palette”
